Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning (sugar-free, keto-friendly)
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 large avocado
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place 1/4 cup mounds of shredded cheddar cheese onto the parchment paper, flattening each into a thin circle about 4 inches in diameter. Leave space between the mounds.
Step 3
Bake the cheese circles for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Carefully lift each cheese circle and drape it over a wooden spoon handle balanced between two cups to create a taco shell shape. Allow them to cool completely and harden.
Step 5
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in taco seasoning and 1 cup of water. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 7
Prepare the toppings: slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, and chop the cilantro (if using).
Step 8
Assemble the tacos by filling each cheese shell with a scoop of seasoned turkey, a few slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Add cilantro and serve with romaine lettuce leaves for additional crunch, if desired.
Step 9
Enjoy your keto turkey tacos immediately!
